Winter Idyll
J and I have been on vacation for the past week, and aside from paying bills and a doctors appointment I've done very little Responsible Adult type things. In fact, I'm rather proud at how little I accomplished this week. I did clean the house while J was out on Thursday, but that was more so I could comfortably go into the new year with a clean house than anything else. Unfortunately, our staycation is rapidly coming to an end and tomorrow we'll have to return to the harsh realities of jobs and responsibility. I'm trying to stay positive by reminding myself that it's Just Ten Weeks until our next vacation, and I hope that I can maintain this mindset in the days to come.
This week was nice however, in that it helped reinforce the good in our relationship, and was a pleasant reminder that we're together because we truly like each other, and enjoy each other's company. As silly or worrisome or stupid as that might sound, I don't take much in relationships for granted, and realize how easy it can be for couples to fall into patterns of busy-ness that they drift apart, or are held together by habit and obligation. While its not always puppies and unicorns with J and I, and we have our own weaknesses and struggles, I'm happy he's Mine.
Lastly, I've decided I will make resolutions this year, and will endeavor to blog/write more, and take more pictures. Obviously, nothing earth shattering or something that will add more stress than happiness to my life, but resolutions nonetheless.
J just unplugged the Xmas tree...and is starting to make motions about going to bed...I guess this idyll is over for now.
